natural: Natural Course Intervention

In gfoRmula: Parametric G-Formula

Natural Course Intervention

Description

This function implements the natural course (i.e., model-based simulation) for the specified intervention variable in the data table newdf. Because newdf is initiated with the natural course, this function does nothing.

Usage

natural(newdf, pool, intvar, intvals, time_name, t)

Arguments

newdf	Data table containing the simulated data at time t.
pool	Data table containing the simulated data at times before t.
intvar	Character string specifying the name of the variable to be intervened on in each round of the simulation.
intvals	A list of user-specified values for the intervention.
time_name	Character string specifying the name of the time variable in pool and newdf.
t	Integer specifying the current time index.

Value

No value is returned.
